Location Anomalies Detection for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
This addresses security and safety issues for traffic management centers in smart cities, but it is incremental as it applies an existing deep learning method to a new domain-specific problem.
The paper tackles the problem of detecting self-reported location anomalies in Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) to ensure safe and secure operations in traffic systems. It proposes an unsupervised deep autoencoder model using vehicle locations and RSSI features, showing effectiveness and robustness in simulation experiments.
Future Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV), and more generally ITS, will form a highly interconnected system. Such a paradigm is referred to as the Internet of Vehicles (herein Internet of CAVs) and is a prerequisite to orchestrate traffic flows in cities. For optimal decision making and supervision, traffic centres will have access to suitably anonymized CAV mobility information. Safe and secure operations will then be contingent on early detection of anomalies. In this paper, a novel unsupervised learning model based on deep autoencoder is proposed to detect the self-reported location anomaly in CAVs, using vehicle locations and the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) as features. Quantitative experiments on simulation datasets show that the proposed approach is effective and robust in detecting self-reported location anomalies.
